John Cornyn compared January 6 to 9/11, and called attendees "white supremacists, domestic terrorists, insurrectionists, rioters, seditionists, anarchists."
He then asked then-FBI Director Chris Wray if a new law was needed to charge attendees with "domestic terrorism."

Someone said Cornyn never produced any meaningful legislation in all his years.
He tried!! For decades he introduced legislation to form a North American Union and give Mexico everything they wanted.
Cornyn sold out. Probably to Carlos Slim Helu.
From 2005: Good bye USA. Hello North American Union!
Senate Bill 2941. Sen. Cronyn has introduced this monster before and looks like it’s coming again!

I compare Cornyn to toe fungus.
Has Senator John Cornyn called for January 6 attendees to be charged with “domestic terrorism?”
While Senator Cornyn condemned the violence, calling the January 6, 2021, attack “horrific & appalling” and stating that those who participated in violence “should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,” he has not advocated for applying a specific domestic terrorism charge to them. (The Texas Tribune)
In February 2021, Cornyn tweeted, “Those who planned & participated in the violence that day should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law”.
Despite calling for a 9/11-type investigation, Cornyn later voted against forming a bipartisan commission to investigate the January 6 insurrection, helping to block it in the Senate.
Opposition to “Hostage” Label: In January 2024, Cornyn dismissed President Trump’s claim that individuals convicted of crimes related to the January 6 attack are “hostages,” stating, “Somebody who’s been duly convicted of a federal crime is not a hostage”.
Legal Standing of “Domestic Terrorism”: As noted in analysis of the events, there is no specific federal statute for “domestic terrorism,” making it a charge that cannot be directly applied, even if actions are considered to fit that definition.
Cornyn has, however, introduced legislation to make foreign visa holders who endorse terrorist groups like Hamas or ISIS inadmissible to the U.S.. (Senator Cornyn.gov)
If you listen to the clip, what he says isn’t exactly what is claimed in the headline. It’s not as much about the actual J6 people as what they’ve been called - white supremacists, anarchists, etc. The truth is that the violence on J6 was happening before any of the Trump supporters even got there. The ones doing stuff that way WERE anarchists, etc but mostly they were actors. The narrative is that it was the Trump supporters who were out of hand but that’s not exactly true.
There’s a Hollywood producer who has gone through the footage and shown the props that were set up ahead of time, the actors going in and out of their roles, the cues given to start the acting, the actors there in other acting roles as “protesters”, etc. It was totally a script. And that will hopefully eventually be recognized.
But Cornyn is just talking about the varieties of what the narrative called “domestic terrorists” on J6. The truth is that these same actions were done by the same people as BLM riots, Antifa riots, and now ICE riots. It’s the same people but it’s blamed on Trump supporters now.
Cornyn goes through the charges that have been used on these people - what we now know are the BLM/Antifa/ICA protester types that haven’t been charged in other cases but just when they are framed as Trump supporters: obstrucing a proceeding, attacking officers, trespassing, etc. ALL OF THESE THINGS COULD/SHOULD BE APPLIED TO THE ICE PROTESTERS, BLM, ETC. But he’s asking if there should be specific charges for just plain terrorism, which is what the threats of riots used by leftists routinely actually are.
I want Paxton because he’s a fighter. I think Cornyn is a good-ol’-boy RINO. But this clip isn’t the stab in the back to MAGA that it is made out to be.
Slander is their opening gambit, and nothing they say can be taken at face value.
Nice analysis
If Paxton weren’t so Sleazy I would be happier with him
Wow he’s really bad. He wants to do away with you sovereignty
I wonder if Cornyn has changed his tune about the “hostages” question since SCOTUS ruled that the prosecutors wrongfully used statutes to accuse these people of what aren’t actually crimes, and used procedures to make sure they got higher sentences than were allowable for even the crimes that SCOTUS says these people didn’t commit.
I also wonder if he’s been informed of the J6 prisoners’ conditions in prison, including judicial wrong-doing to keep them from getting necessary medical care or defenders who aren’t their political enemies.
The people who PLANNED the stuff on J6 SHOULD BE PROSECUTED TO THE FULL EXTENT OF THE LAW, indeed. But Ray Epps - the man visibly seen on video pushing and directing the lawless stuff - got a pass. As did Pelosi and Bowser, who the Capitol Police at one point said “set us up”. Or General Milley, who performed a coup against Trump to keep National Guardsmen from helping out. AFAIK they have not charged the actors who tore down the fences, etc before the Trump supporters even got there, nor have they found out who placed all the props there ahead of time. And they haven’t found out who paid those actors who set the stage for the Trump supporters to not know what was allowed or not when they finally got there. They’ve not prosecuted the cops who waved the people in.
Our treasonous media and treasonous Deep State make it hard to know whether our lawmakers are also treasonous or just stupid and deceived. After seeing what we’ve seen from the Deep State crooks and media, though, anybody who still falls for the lies is too dumb to be trusted with the nation’s best interests. So no matter how you slice it, Cornyn is not fit for the job.
I think Trump should endorse Cornyn when he gets Thune and Johnson to deliver passage of the SAVA act, and a bona fide recess at the time of the upcoming break, so Trump can make a slew of recess appointments
Seems corney has developed the Biden syndrome.
“Awful isn’t he....”
He is indeed.
You’re a big girl, a little snarky for FR.....look it up yourself.
